How Safe Is Your Tap Water?
Finding out can take some time, effort, and money, but it’s worth doing. We are here to help!

If you’re on well water, you won’t get a Consumer Confidence Report, so you should get your water tested. Basic good tests, as required for FHA financing, do not check all potential concerns. Depending upon local geology, rural wells may have treatable levels of unsafe metals such as arsenic. Re-tests are also a good idea if your home was built before lead-free pipes were mandated in 1986. Private goods owners are responsible for the safety of their water.

Silver State Analytical Laboratories (SSAL) is a Nevada and California EPA-certified laboratory that, among other things, tests the suitability of drinking water.

Did you know that for the close of escrow to occur, it is often mandatory for homes with private well systems to have the water tested? Check with your lender for testing needs to satisfy the loan process.
